Creating a Nested JSON Object in Postgres: A Step-by-Step Guide

In the world of database management, handling JSON data has become increasingly essential. PostgreSQL has built-in support for JSON, allowing developers to create complex data structures with ease. One common task involves creating a single nested JSON object from two separate JSON objects. In this post, we will walk you through a practical example of how to achieve this using PostgreSQL.

The Problem

You may have encountered a situation where you have two JSON objects generated from different queries and you need to consolidate them into a single nested JSON object. Here's an overview of our specific case:

First JSON Object created from the following query:

Second JSON Object produced from this query:

Result:

The challenge is to combine these two JSON objects into a single nested JSON object, structured as follows:

The Solution

Step 1: Understand Nested json_build_object

No need to worry—PostgreSQL allows nested calls to json_build_object, making our task straightforward. To build a nested JSON object, you simply need to use json_build_object within another json_build_object call.

Step 2: Combine the Queries

Here's how to combine the two JSON objects into one nested JSON object:

Step 3: Resulting Output

When the query is executed, the result will be:

This approach effectively merges the two individual JSON objects into one cohesive structure.

Summary

Creating a nested JSON object from two separate JSON objects in PostgreSQL is both simple and efficient. By leveraging nested calls to json_build_object, you can effortlessly merge complex JSON structures for your applications.

Follow these straightforward steps whenever you need to handle nested JSON data, and you will find it significantly enhances your data manipulation capabilities within PostgreSQL.

Now, go ahead and try implementing it in your database projects!
